Result Aside, Fernando Alonso’s Indy 500 Journey Was Resounding Success
Share this: Some people likely assume Fernando Alonso’s first Indianapolis 500 was a failure, as he didn’t see the checkered flag. However, those individuals aren’t taking into consideration what his goals for the race actually were. When Alonso announced he would race in the Indy 500, he made it clear he intended to show he can compete with the best drivers, in one of the best series, on one of the best tracks in the world. And in that respect, his race went better than he could’ve hoped. After a relatively cautious start to the 500-mile event, Alonso quickly began working is way to the front of the field.
